Things have been very stressful and difficult for my family since my father passed away in September. My mother had been in the hospital since the day after my father's funeral with a severely broken ankle and a multitude of health problems. She was brought home against my wishes by my siblings. Now none of them are able to take care of her and I am trying to figure out what to do about it. On top of that my sister fell off her deck at home this morning & has broken her hip. She is going to have surgery tomorrow (she has MS and it is complicating things) and is in for a long recovery rehab herself.
We are having trouble with my 8 year old son's school and are putting our house on the market to move to a better school district. I would very much like prayers for both of them. My stress level reached it's limit long ago and the problems keep coming. If anyone has time, prayers would be very much appreciated!
Thank you,
Dawn in IL
_____________________________________________
I wanted to thank all of you again for your prayers and support. Sadly, my mom passed away late Sunday night. In two months time, I have lost both my parents.
It has been a very difficult and stressful autumn for us. My siblings and I are in shock and can't believe our parents are both gone. Tomorrow is our mom's funeral. I am bracing myself now for it.
My sister's hip healed quickly and she is able to get around with a walker or wheelchair. The prosthesis they put in for the ball & socket has straightened out her left leg and she is actually walking better now. Her MS still makes her a bit wobbly, but with the walker she is able to zip around faster than she has in years.
Again, thank you for your prayers. I am praying everyone will have a very joyful Christmas and that 2012 will be better for us all.

We will, and for you! I know it's very hard to do, but please take the best care of yourself you can-- at least sleep and eat! When you are care-giving, those things slip.
Prayers, thoughts, light, and lots of hugs,

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. I am crying as I type this. I am very touched by your support. My sister's surgery time hasn't been set yet for today, hopefully it will be done by early afternoon.
I wish I could have a moment to myself, but it isn't possible. The problems keep coming at a ridiculous speed and there is no time to pause.
Thank you again,
Dawn in IL |

Thank you for all of your prayers. My sister's surgery went very well yesterday. Due to brittle bones they had to put a prosthesis in her hip. They plan to get her up and walking today! The doctor said they are going to put a brace on her leg to help straighten it out. Her MS had caused her to walk on tilt and hopefully this will help her balance better.
All of your kinds words and encouragement have helped me so much. Thank you again to all of you wonderful farmgirls!

Thank you again for all of your kind words and prayers. I saw my sister this afternoon. They can't put a cast on her. They had her up & walking with a walker & two spotters. She is in a lot of pain and has a UTI that is causing a fever, but the hospital says they are discharging her in a day or two! I think she is a bit concerned about that, as she well should be.
I have a realtor coming tomorrow to do a market analysis on my house and hopefully we will have it up for sale by the end of the week.
The stress has been crushing us all and I am praying like crazy that it is finally all over with. My husband and sons have been very supportive and I think I would have fallen into a million pieces now if it wasn't for them and my Windy Pines cousin. The farmgirl prayers and support has really boosted my spirits too.
Thank you & God bless all of you!

Saying a prayer now for your strenght and for the healing of your sister and mother. Good luck with the appraisal on your home.

Blessings,

Thank you all again for the prayers, encouragement and support. It has helped me get through this very stressful time.
My sister was moved to rehab yesterday. She said that the pain isn't too bad now and they will probably release her in 4-6 days. Walking is difficult, but she is able to do it with two helpers & a walker.
Thank you all again!

Dawn, I'm so sorry to read this. You must be really just...numb. I'm so sorry that you've lost both parents in such a short time--your mother is at rest, it sounds, after a few months of terrible illness.
I am happy for your sister's mobility, MS is such a struggle, and combined with the hip issue, well, it's amazing, truly. I wish you luck with your home sale, and am so glad that you have the wonderful support of your husband and children.
